Some animals got a lift on Friday as the Division of Wildlife Resources used a helicopter to perform a study on how wildlife is using the new animals-only overpass at the top of Parleys Summit on Interstate 80, which opened in December 2018.
Taking off from the upper parking lot at Little Dell Reservoir off State Highway 65, the team captured five moose, five elk and 10 deer near the overpass on Friday. Cameras posted along the bridge have caught numerous species using the bridge, which is designed to keep wildlife away from cars and trucks speeding through Parleys Canyon.
